Description: Residential Immersion: Italian Language and Cuisine:

Our summer program in Bologna, Italy, is designed for students completing grades 10-12 and focuses on Italian language, culture and cuisine. Previous knowledge of Italian is not required.

Students and staff live together in two centrally-located private apartment complexes in Bologna.
